Remedy of the week - Aconite




 Homeopathy Remedy of the Week - Aconite – Chilling shock and fear!

Ever been out watching a game on the local sports field and felt a cold biting wind?  Or walked the children to school in a cold wind that has chilled you so much you thought you would never feel warm again?  There has been similar weather in the last week.  For some people getting so cold can lead to starting with all types of inflammation such as a cold, flu, earache, sore throat or cough.  In those situations remember Aconite.  It is a good acute remedy to use when symptoms of inflammation are just beginning.

A key word associated with Aconite is shock.  In the case of physical ailments a severe chilling from a cold, dry wind can shock the body and cause you to become more susceptible to infections.  At the first signs of fever or inflammation take a 30c dose and repeat every 2 hours for the first 1 to 2 days as required.  If Aconite matches your symptoms they are likely to improve within the first 24 hours.

Similarly a severe shock or accident that leaves the person feeling fearful and extremely restless can indicate a need for Aconite.  The fear is likely to be out of proportion showing signs of panic attack or trembling with palpitations and tingling sensations.  In these circumstances give one dose of 30c while arranging any necessary medical help that is required.  Repeat the dose if the fear and restlessness returns.

Some homeopaths also recommend a dose of Aconite 30c before visiting the dentist when there is a great deal of fear and panic felt in anticipation.

Remember to match the symptoms carefully to the best homeopathic remedy picture you can find.  Begin with one dose.  If you feel immediately better, there is no need to repeat unless the same symptoms return.  For acute illnesses use 30c potency or lower.  If symptoms persist without change then consult your local homeopath.

For general queries or acute advice I will be available at Bare Health this Saturday 9th February from 10am to 1pm.  You are welcome to drop in.  I will be available in the shop on the second Saturday of each month.
